5.0

I’ve read just about everything that Brandon Ford has to offer in the horror genre.

That being said, it was interesting to hear him branching out other genres. This collection of delightful literary tales covers just about everything from bickering old couples to vengeful wedding toasts and childhood feats of strength.

Even though the stories are short, the characters are well thought out, realistic, and it was easy to relate to the qualms of every MC. In the usual Brandon Ford way, each story ends with a sort of twist.

My favorites in the collection were:

The Claw End: An old married couple bickering over a photo frame takes a violent turn.

Under Your Spell: A hypnotist uses his powers for evil to pursue the love his life who coincidentally also happens to be the love of his identical brother’s life as well.

Tastes Good: Upon stumbling into a crime scene, a college student assumes it’s a prank and promptly licks the blood off the corpse.

Narration was solid and straightforward.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
